How is total capacitive reactance for parallel capacitors using their reactances is calculated?
Total capacitance for parallel capacitors is simply the sum of all capacitor's individual capacitances. This would apply within (reasonably) any frequency, ignoring non-ideal resistance and inductance, so the same can be said for capacitive reactance.
What is the advantages of mosfet?
Advantages:-
1- mosfet are small compare to bjt's so it fabricated easily and space saving scheme on the ic's
2- mosfet's input impedance are very high so they do not load the circuits. loading effect doesn't arise.
3- operating frequency is very high so may be used at higher frequencies.
4- used in digital circuits for it's reliability.
5- effect of noise is less than bjt. so high signal to noise ratio.
6-mosfets are unipolar devices so reverse saturation current doesn't exist.
7- it consume less D.C power rather than BJT.
Disadvantages:-
handling is not easy-
Mosfet is very sensitive to electrostatic charge so it may be destroy when you touch the pins of a mosfet devices by hand.
trans conductance is low than BJT.
What is an example of Ohms Law?
The simplest example of Ohm's Law is an old fashioned dimmer switch in your house. As you turn the dimmer switch up, the light gradually brightens until it reaches full intensity. Conversely, you can turn the dimmer switch down, and the light gradually darkens.
The dimmer switch is a variable resistor. That is, the electrical resistance of the dimmer switch changes as you rotate the knob. Ohm's Law tells us that the flow of current is directly proportional to the voltage, and inversely proportional to the resistance. Since the voltage across the switch doesn't change, the only thing that changes is the resistance when you turn the dimmer switch knob.
As you turn the dimmer switch down, you are actually increasing the resistance of the dimmer switch. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as the resistance goes up, the current (flow of electricity) goes down, and the light gets darker. This is an example of Ohm's Law.
NOTE: This example applies to rheostat switches, and does not apply to modern current-clipping dimmer switches. Rheostat switches are seldom used now because they can overheat, but the illustration is still a useful example of Ohm's Law.
A capacitor in its simplest form is merely two electrically conductive plates separated by an insulator from each other. As such the capacitor will block any DC voltage from passing through it, up to the electrical dielectric strength of the insulator. The capacitor will accept a DC charge and an electrical field will exist between the plates of the capacitor. The capacitor will retain this charge until it either leaks away via the high electrical resistance of the insulator, or is intentionally discharged.
When an AC or varying voltage is applied to a capacitor, a varying electrical field is set up between the plates of the capacitor. This will thus pass through the capacitor, and can be seen on the opposite plate. Thus, a capacitor will pass an AC voltage.
Now,as to the question, " application of Capacitor". One of the oldest and most useful of capacitor applications is filtering or smoothing the output of an AC to DC power supply. In this supply, an AC voltage is rectified by a diode into a varying DC voltage. A capacitor is placed across the output, and serves to supply voltage or "fill in" the output whenever the output voltage is less than the capacitor. The capacitor subsequently recharges on the next cycle and repeats the process. Thus, the output voltage of the power supply is smoothed out.
What is a current in a circuit measured in?
amps
AnswerElectric current is measured by means of an ammeter. Electric current is expressed in amperes (symbol: A), which is defined in terms of the magnetic effect of an electric current -i.e. the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors.
If you take a permanent magnet and heat it up past the Curie temperature (or Curie point, Tc) and cool it, the magnetic domains in the magnet, which were aligned when it was made, will become randomly oriented. When the "magnet" cools, its magnetic properties will have "disappeared" and the you'll have a piece of metal alloy. If you like, you can make a new magnet out of your hunk of metal by heating the metal past the Curie point again, applying a static magnetic field to it, and then cooling it back down in the presence of the magnetic field. That's the way the magnet was manufactured and made into a magnet to begin with.
Why does the voltmeter input have a much higher resistance than the current input?
Anything that a voltmeter is measuring has some internal output impedance. If the voltmeter had a low input impedance, these two impedances would form a voltage divider and reduce the voltage measured.
The voltmeter has a high input impedance so that it does not affect ("load down") the thing it is measuring.
What is the main advantage of an fet transistor over a bjt transistor?
BJT & FET parameters are temperature dependent. In BJT the collector junction resistance decreasing ( collector current increasing) with temperature raise.Due to the highe temperature & current transistor will damage quickly. In FET drain resistance increasing (drain current decreasing ) with increasing temperature.Due to this property it will not damage easily. We can say from the above two statements FET is more temperature stable.FET can use in highe temperature applications.
What are the disadvantages of TTL?
The disadvantages of TTL are as follows:
What are normally open and close circuits?
The electric path which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery ends at its negative terminal, without any break, is called closed electric circuit or complete electric circuit. The electric path,which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery, is broken at some point, is called open electric circuit or incomplete electric circuit.
What is a material that has a high resistance?
Diamond, rubber, plastic, styrofoam, ice, wood, glass, paper, concrete.
How voltage gets converted into current in an ammeter?
A: It must be be understood that current needs voltage other wise it is zero. An ammeter for DC is always a voltmeter that reads small IR drop to convert that reading into current present. Like an ohmmeter needs volts to read ohm. Both reading are volts it just convert those reading into whatever scale is switch to.
How does a zener diode work in reverse bias?
Zener diodes operate like any other diode in reverse bias, they just have the point where they breakdown more carefully controlled, and usually lower than the typical ~50V for a standard silicon diode. The process by which most diodes (with breakdowns larger than a few volts) operate under reverse biases strong enough to cause breakdown is called "Avalanching".
Avalanching is where the reverse biasing is strong enough that the electric field between the positive and negative terminals grows to a point where the electrons and holes being swept across the junction have enough energy so that when they eventually release that energy it is enough to generate a new electron and hole pair which themselves are swept away by the electric field also.
What is a disadvantage of using a parallel circuit?
While a parallel conversion minimizes the risk of major flaws in the new system causing irreparable harm to the business; it also means the cost of running two systems over the period must be incurred. Because running two editions of the same system on the computer could place an unreasonable demand on computing resources, this may be possible only if the old system is largely manual
What are the properties of a semiconductor?
There are a few (general) properties of semiconductors:
The exact property is determined by the make up of the semi-conductor
The basic element of a semiconductor memory is the memory cell. Although a variety of electronic technologies are used, all semiconductor memory cells share certain properties:
What does voltage current mean?
V=IR, voltage is directly propostional to current and resistance (by ohm's law).
CommentVoltage is not 'proportional to resistance'. Resistance is a constant, and is not affected by voltage at all.
How much voltage and current is given to homes?
Typically in the US, voltage is +/- 110-120 volts AC RMS (so you can get 240 total), and a typical service will be 100 Amps (I believe, but I could be wrong on "typical" here). This doesn't mean the home uses 100Amps, it means this is the peak amount the home is allowed to draw.
The function and use of an ammeter and a voltmeter?
A: ACTUALLY they are both the same just the application makes one or the other. Their function is to measure potential difference on a load or circuitry
Can you run a 380v 3-ph 50 Hz motor on a 460v 3-ph 60hs supply?
You have to reduce the voltage by a factor 50/60 to avoid saturation in the active iron of the motor. Accordingly the available max load of the motor is reduced by (50/60)^2. Nevertheless the actual load of the motor is defind by the requirements of the driven machine (pump, elevator, etc). The nominal speed of the motor is reducet too.
Can you switch a 220 microfarad capacitor with a 100 microfarad capacitor?
This depends on the application. It may be OK to do so, or it may result in problems. If this is an already designed circuit, and you have a 820u cap that has blown, I suggest replacing with a 1000u (in my experience, this is more common and readily available), AND i usually up the voltage rating on the cap.
Capacitors typically blow due to overvoltaging or reverse polarizing them. If they've blown before, it's likely you'll have similar problems again, which is why i go with bigger, and higher voltage rated. I hate reduing things repeatedly.
How do you install a capacitor?
It gets hooked up like a switch would be. The main power wire goes to the positive side on the cap and a short power wire comes off of the positive side of the cap to go to the amp. Ground comes from car metal to the negative side of the cap and a short ground comes off of that negative to go to the negative on the amp.
Does the current stay the same in a parallel circuit and a series circuit?
A series circuit allows only one path for the electron path to follow. This type of circuit is found in something like Christmas tree lights. But a parallel circuit allows the 2 or more path for the electron path to follow. This is primarily used in households. So no, they are not the same electrons because they are two completely different circuits.
Why does resistance decrease in a parallel circuit?
That's true. This is because when there are several resistors in parallel, the electrons have additional paths to choose from - it becomes "easier" for them to get through. This is what the resistance expresses. You can also play around with the formula for parallel resistance:
1 / R(total) = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 ...
Try this out with some numbers. For two resistances, an equivalent is: R(total) = (R1 * R2) / (R1 + R2).
What is an isolation transformer?
An isolation transformer does not have a direct electrical path from the power input side to the power output side. The term is also used to define how much electrical isolation exists between the input and output windings. For example when using line-voltage input transformers to power low voltage device handled by humans, a high degree of isolation is required for safety.
Isolated transformers often use separate bobbins for the primary and secondary coil windings, but usually the windings are just wound on top of each other with insulation in between.There is usually an electrostatic shield between windings which is tied to transformer case.
Non-Isolated transformers are becoming rare. A common example is the "Variac" which is a non-isolated variable transformer. Usually the term "auto-transformer" is used to describe non-isolated transformers. They are rarely found in consumer products.
Although any transformer with a separate primary and secondary winding is an isolation transformer to some extent, The term is usually used to denote a special-purpose transformer built just for that use. It is tested and rated to withstand a very high voltage difference, called the withstand voltage, so that even if thousands of volts are applied to the primary, it will not leak through to the protected side. These transformers are used in the medical industry, to protect patients hooked up to monitoring instruments that are powered by utility mains, as well as other uses.
An 'isolation transformer' is a transformer specifically used to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit. Of course, ALL mutual transformers do this, but an isolation transformer normally has a 1:1 ratio, which means its secondary voltage is the same as its primary voltage. In other words, its purpose is NOT to change the supply voltage, but to isolate the user from the supply circuit.
Isolation transformers isolate the secondary circuit from the earthed (grounded) primary circuit. As there is no earth return from the secondary circuit back to the primary supply, isolation transformer eliminate the risk of shock between the secondary circuit and earth.
An example of an isolation transformer is a bathroom shaver socket. The output is completely isolated from the earthed supply, so users cannot receive a shock between the outlet and earth.
When one bulb is unscrewed in a series circuit does the other bulb stay lit?
You break the circuit and they both extinguish (go out).
Answer: The circuit will open up causing the current to quit flowing to both bulbs therefore there will be no lighted bulbs
